For my part l am convinced that. in
every one Of our perceptions of the comic,
humorous or ridiculous, there is an ulti-
mate element that can no more be ana
lived or defined by anything else than
can our ideas of truth and goodness. But
however this may be, it is abundantly
evident that all human laughter tother
than that due to the mere physica infiu-
ences) includes distinct intellectual ele-
ment. This is laughter in which no
mere animal shares. The an;hropoid apes
are by far the most like man of all bru,es,
and a very bright and lively adult spcci-
nIen-a chimpanzee called Sally-is row

society, of London, and is remarkable for

tricks.
At my request a number Of expert
ments have been made TO see if she could
be got to give any evidence of q percep-
ton of the ludicrous. For this purpose
her keeper arrayed himself in various un-
usual and brightly colored garments and
went through a number Of absurd ges-
lures; Sally was evidently interested in
his appearance and inspected him with
care, but. as evidently, did not realize the
humor of the situation. Indeed, her
keeper (who is an extremely intelligent
man assured me that he has never de-

/ ludicrous, although she has very marked

How Dakota Farmers Can Secure Seed
Wheat.

THAT there may be no misrepresentation
rs to the manner in which the Northern
Pacific proposes TO furnish seed grain to
the farmers, it Should be understood that
only those who have no means whatever of
furnishing themselves with seed grain will
be supplied by the railroad company on
the basis proposed, viz: to be returned
bushel for bushel from the crop this fall.
The best way for those farmers who have
but little means to get seed is TO club to-
gether in townships Or communities and
raise money enough to purchase seed in
carload lots, and consult with the nearest
station agent, who, if desired, will
see that wheat is purchased at the lowest
market price. By this means the farmer
can get the benefit of the car rates, which
will be a great saving over individual ship
merts. If there be in any community far
mers who have not the means and no way
of obtaining money with which to pur-
chase seed, then the company will gener-
uosly aid them to the extent of furnishing
them the seed, delivered free at the station,
to be returned in the fall bushel for bushel,
without interest as has been heretofore an
nounced. General Immigration Agent T..
b. Grant has been in Bismarck consulting
with the farmers regarding their needs,
and it in likely that other stations along
the line will also be visited.-Bismarrk

GENERAL.

Information is received at Chicago from
Rome. through Mgr. Kirby, President of the
Irish College in the Vatican, that a new discese
is to be created in Iowa with Council Bluffs as
the see city. 1t is expected that some Chicago
priest will be selected as the new bishop, and
Father Cusllman is believed to be the coming
man. The low priests naturally prefer one
of their own number, and among those named
are Rev. DIR. B. c.. Lenehan, of Denison; Rev.
Father Lenehan, of Fort Dodge, tho vica gen

Carol D. Wright, commissioner of labor,

institutions is t4-100 of l per cent. of the total
product of the industries of tho country. The
commissioner concludes that the system of
hand labor, if introduced in the prisons, would
reduce the competition with free labor to a
minimum.

The police had great difficulty in effect

They found the tenant in bed chained to a
large stone which had been deeply sunk in the
earth. A large crowd assembled and witnessed
the work of removal with intense excitement.
Two shocks of earthquake were felt at
Nice at 6 O'Clock on the morning of the sd.
Houses were rocked, walls cracked and in
some cases frail tenements were thrown to
the ground. People rushed from their houses
and fell upon their knees in the streets pray
ing for deliverance from sudden death. Visi-

who was in Nice witnessing the festivities

Shocks were also felt at Monte Carlo and Mon

rocks were detached from the cliffs and hurled

Mantels the frozen ground;
Down where the southern coyote sleeps
And tumbleweeds abound;
Out where the cowboy hunts tho crow;
Down where the miners swear,
The candidates for Office grow
Ye Gods, they're everywhere.
The frosts may blight the burberry tree,
The drouth may kill the grass:
The sun may wither the messy lee,
And scorch the deep morass;
The wind may shatter the red, red nose,
The busy bel-bug fail,
But the candidate forever grows
With a long and mournful tail"
Oh for a hcme where the air is calm
And the weary ear may rest;
Where tho foot-sore hand may find sweet balm

Where the long-billed eulogistic freaks,
And dangling, sleepless bore,
And he who whispers whene'er he speaks,
